Automatic Code Generation

I have been thinking about using some sort of automatic code generation for the DAL on my next side-project. I am not sure if I will try out one of the tools available out there, or try and spin something on my own. Does anyone have any opinions on the current code generation tools out there?

The three I've worked with most are LLBLGen, "OlyMars", and SP/Invoke. I used LLBLGen on a small personal project I noted here. Those are all free, but I'm sure someone can chime in with alternate suggestions. In the past I had written my own tools.

Sorry, I forgot to note that Fabrice has a list of tools here.

I've written up a little ditty about KickStarter.Net here.

It sounds like you might want your generated code to look a certain way. If so, then CodeSmith is for you. It is a template based code generator. You can use it to generate code based on any .NET type including the types from SchemaExplorer (included) which provide everything you could want to know about a database. We use CodeSmith to generate our Stored Procedures, DAL, and our user interface. Check it out, it's FREE!

Thanks for all the good advice! I am going to take a look at all of these suggestions and then try one out on my next project and let everyone know how it is going.
